Agile Frameworks: Implications for the PMO

Which Agile Framework – Does it Matter?
The Implications for a PMO

All scaling frameworks share some common patterns: Scrum at the team level, many teams sharing the same backlog, planning done collaboratively across teams, and the general principles of pull, self-organisation and continuous improvement.  What does this mean for a PMO?  What are the differences between the main Agile at Scale frameworks; SAFe, Scrum@Scale, Large Scale Scrum, GDS, and so on.  How does a PMO know it is using the right framework?

This interactive PMO Flashmob session explores the mysteries of Agile at Scale!

The more I hear about Agile delivery, the more I understand how its principles are used in construction projects and the like. That’s been a big shift in thinking for me through learning more about it #PMO #Agile
